The infernal political machine moves the structure of the state, its institutionality and manageability. Hell as only Dante knew how to describe it in the Divine Comedy, when he divided it into nine circles of sin and its consequences. Politics is as black as the dark forest in which the poet wakes up to find himself threatened by three animals: the panther, which symbolizes lust; the wolf representing greed and the lion representing pride.
Let’s go down to the nine circles of the structure of hell, which could symbolize the circles of power and political manipulation.
The first circle corresponds to limbo, where people are born devoid of faith.
Second circle: lust, sinners pushed through the air, overcome by storm.
Third circle: Gluttony, sinners dragged through the mud, beating in the constant rain.

Fourth Circle: Greed, greedy sinners, condemned to push enormous weights of gold, the size of the weight pressing down on them symbolizes the amount of earthly goods they have accumulated or spent.
Fifth Circle: Anger, the angry are mired in the mire of their own anger.
Sixth circle: heresy, heretics punished in burnt tombs.
Seventh circle: violence, sinners who put malice into their actions; there are three turns in this round; the first corresponds to those who are violent against their fellows, immersed in a river of blood; in the second, those who are violent to themselves are turned into trees, and in the third, blasphemers, sodomites and usurers are subjected to a rain of fire.
Eighth circle: fraud, which punishes sinners who used fraud against trust, sunk in ten pits with different punishments: beaten with whips, immersed in excrement, surrounded by flames, with hands tied by snakes. In the fifth pit, Dante locates embezzlers, those who have illegally taken advantage of their public offices, and are immersed in boiling pitch; in the ninth pit are the sowers of discord or wickedness, punished by the demon who opens his wounds as soon as they close.

The ninth and final circle: betrayal, which punishes those who are guilty of wickedness and deceit, but against whom they believed. This circle is represented by a lake of ice, in the first part of the lake, sinners are immersed up to their heads face down, in the second area, face up, in the third area, face up, behind and in the fourth zone, traitors are completely immersed in ice and silence.
This tragic vision of hell and sin is counterbalanced by Purgatory and Paradise; where the hope of mankind rests on the virtue of morality. Dante’s comedy tells us that in order to achieve good, it is necessary to know evil and its consequences: to touch the bottom. Above, one can only touch the bottom, but the ascent is not instantaneous, it is a path that requires correctness, repentance and common sense. If hell is darkness, purgatory is transparency, and heaven is light. (OR)
